  1. I just watched a long Essay on Noam Chomsky, and it was mostly summarizing Bosnian war... I will be sick for the next few years after that... At least there weren't any questions about the guy's moral integrity, people in comments pointed out more genocides he supported. Then there was a video on "realists" by same guy, Kraut, and I decided that I had enough of watching things done to us now done to other people before for this decade.

  2.  @JulioCrsm  I only watched the full movie as a gif that lasted less than a minute so I probably missed literally everything.

  3. I think they copy the tropes from classic literature where everyone had someone dying from tuberculosis (that was realistic but we invented vaccines, pasteurization and antibiotics since)... so modern dramatic take would be cancer.

  4. Broke: Star Wars is cool. Space wizards. Woke: Star Wars is a cliche storm. Bespoke: that's what makes it good.

  5. Star Wars prequels were very commercially successful tho. Yoda doing flying kung-fu and other poor CGI was cringe, but at the time it was perfect popcorn fodder, we genuinely had fun watching them, then cringed at dialogue on rewatches.

  6.  @DeadManSinging1  I don't like JonTron and he's the first person to be critical of his early work being a more awkward absurdist AVGN, but dude has a good comedic timing and general sense of humor. He's not self-aware in other stuff though, like literally being a stereotypical brown Iranian migrant bitching about migrants and brown people.)))

  7. Did they downplay that in moves? Each hobbit had just two, though hairy, feet.

  8. Mel Brooks summarized critics in History of the World Part One. A guy draws something on a cave wall. Another guy pisses all over it. That's it.

  9.  @yunsurfed6153  for those who missed that Metal Gear games are based on mecha anime (Metal Gear is LITERALLY a mech), there's a whole Otacon's introduction that keeps hammering the point is that he's named after Otaku Convention, and the whole thing is about loving to watch big robots go boom! xD It's like, what if Gundam was a tactical espionage action. The only less subtle "war bad" parable than MGS is Fallout's "war never changes"... Both series are easy to get into, they're somehow less subtle than Godzilla.)))

  10. I still think a "movie critic" is a cringe thing to be. Like it started with some guy shitting on Kubrick and praising Adam Sandler and rest went like "oh I can also pretend to be quirky and interesting if I just say the opposite of what people think", and it went on into the essays in the style of "why people who find Chungking Express romantic are WRONG and here's why they shoudnb't like it", "Dead Poets Society is bad because a kid sent to military school against his will is great", or "Aladdin is a thief and meanie, Jasmine would be better off with Jaffar (so what he's 100 years old, kidnapped her farther, and plans to kill her after wedding night)". I legitimately can't tell whether people are trolling or serious about movies when they write about them, but I suspect they mostly aren't joking. I honestly mostly see angry contrarians who didn't get what the story is about (I noticed people who don't get the punchline of a joke are often enraged for some reason), and just post some confidently incorrect stuff about topics they don't understand as a take that to the people who did.

  13. I actually watched the movie... guys it's not long and is one of actually entertaining courtroom dramas from black and white age. Another is 12 Angry Men.

  15.  @yahiiia9269  "Some AI is doing lawyer jobs" BUT THINK OF THE POOR LAWYERS BEING UNABLE TO UPGRADE THEIR GOLDEN JETS TO PLATINUM! This is as bad as when TV destroyed cinema which destroyed theater as steaming destroyed mp3 which destroyed records which destroyed live music, and oh the poor horse cart industry...

  17. We need to Frankenstein an ideal protag: tall and myspathetic like Lina inverse, super powerful like Emiya Shirou, and easy name to pronounce like Noctis Lucis Caelum (comes from small village called Crown City, humble beginnings as prince and king's son). Meet your idea fantasy protagonist, Artoria Pendragon in Fate Zero: 150cm tall, author and fans fight over her name's spelling, and she's getting whacked by literally everyone, and comes from a tiny farming hamlet of Castle Camelot, being king of England and all.

  18. People don't have cat filters on, nobody is eating into mic or endlessly echoing all sounds, and some even wear pants which IIRC automatically closes any Zoom call.

  19. I actually managed to find a community worse than Star Wars fandom and no, I will not say it in fear for someone to actually join it to see... but it's hard to beat Star Wars fans in hating not just Star Wars, but the people who like them. The only difference between most Star Wars fans is which part of Star Wars they hate the most. It's a rare case where the company not giving a crap about the fandom works well because making films for casual, human audience makes them break bank while the minority of hardcore fanatics are all we see on internet.

  20. 1/10 great renders is lucky. I spend so many time trying various models, programs and prompts, it is LITERALLY faster to just draw something myself then retouch details with AI. TBH, people understood that and that's why img2img and ControlNET are so popular, you give AI more input data rather than relying on random. Months later after getting Stable Diffusion I still haven't made a picture of headless horseman rearing his horse in front of a burning castle. It's a simple thing too, and i wasn't trying ALL the time, it's just somethings are easy to make, like single human standing, and some things are harder... like... any... poses... or multiple people in same frame.

  21.  @wesleywyndam-pryce5305  well you can argue that no films have a reason to exist. The cinema, all of it, IS unnecessary... People giving movies a higher value than "heh, it's entertaining" don't get why most actually watch stuff. Kids movies and family films were never considered high-brow art, but make bucks because creators understand the market. That's why stuff like Star Wars will keep being successful while haters will still tear their hair out, failing to understand mass appeal working better than going for specific fandom's quirks.

  22. Don't forget in USA, you know, the top 5% richest country in the world. How difficult it is to grow up as top 10% privileged of the 5% rolling D20 on birth to be born in the first world.

  24. Sunset Boulevard is great, watch it! It starts with main guy dead, then he gets "hey that's me, you wonder how I got into that situation", and after he tells the story it has that woman go full on cray. For a very old movie it's very fun and not boring at all, I was surprised.

  25. ​ @BooJoh  yeah things like that need to exist, a lot of movies expect you to get every reference, famously Kubrick's Space Odyssey cuts away all text and just makes you assume the Barbie scene is about evolution and Also Sprach Zarathustra tune is a reference to Nietzsche's Übermensch... Stuff like this makes movie seem too difficult to understand but it's that boomers had played some random Waltz same way you'd use a meme nowadays. To understand most media, you kinda need to know the memes it relies on. That's why older stuff is tough, you're coming from a different cultural context, or, in a nutshell, your generation has different dirty jokes.

  26. He's like, the cliche Bond villain. Like literally Hugo Drax, a foreign billionaire with third Reich links who makes rockets and cheats at games. Yes, Moonraker's plot is started by popular rich guy caught cheating at cards.

  30.  @popo0129  I think the problem with Holiday Special is that while some parts are so bad it's good, most of it is just mediocre and boring... there's not much to talk about. Like, I feel if it was worse, it would actually be more defendible and well, fun. But it's like... watching people in furry costumes hang around on a set. Sometimes grunting... and here come the acrobats.

  31. Eh, this one gets a pass: four ways media goes about it, most frequent one is how you cited, Starshucks or WcDonalds, anime loves it, second is acknowledging these fake names as ripoff stores in the show, I've seen characters being snarky about a chain store knockoff, third is sponsorship, SO many brands pay to be in some movie... Oh and finally there's also public domain or creators who don't give a crap putting real life stuff because it's either generalized enough or else.

  32. Ah yes, I should feel bad about earning money from thin air by pressing buttons on computer when I could work on a mine and get widowed at 19 from a collapse like my grandma who grew up in USSR... Imagine being mad at being lazy. Literally nothing stops people from getting harder jobs.

  34. Social media one upped those by banning reports of russian war crimes. Like journalist footage and shit. They're fine with russian mfa denying them, but proof gets deleted.

  35. ​ @davidwuhrer6704  mostly it is used for CCTV cameras in 90s movies, which were infamous for looking like ass, they're usually something like 240 lines interlaced and B&W and people are from afar and there's NO way to add data that isn't there without literally drawing over it, which is what either AI or artist does, not zooming in.

  36. If you ever tried to film a CRT with a camera you will know why in films they didn't even bother most of the time, though TV shows are a bit better about it... And no, making custom apps AND synchronizing what's on screen with the rest of the set isn't easier than phoning it in later.

  37. I live in Eastern Europe. Our "WW2 veterans" plugged by every politician for clout got younger with every decade! Last time I checked, the vets were like 60. Up north, there's Lukashenko who claimed his father died in WW2... Luka was born on 1953.

  38. My fav video essay genre is "why Metal Gear Solid 2 is deeply profound, predicted all future, and you all don't get its genius" by people who didn't understand it roasting the fandom with then-relevant Japanese topics and being a product of its time.

  39.  @megamcgee  AVGN game reviews are genuine tho, he's exaggerating the annoying parts but kinda is the summary of all of us inside when we couldn't land the fucking plane. Now, his endless clones are another story... only two kept relevance, JonTron and Caddicarus and only because they completely changed format and are genuinely funny guys with unique sense of humor (yea Jafari is a hypocritical prick IRL, doesn't change the fact he's talented and has excellent comedic timing).

  40. no need AI, computers, or industrialization during communism when you can just enslave the entire population and make them work for free delivering all profits to moscow while their families starve amirite... and inb4 "not real socialism/communism/marxism", literally all such "experiments" ended up in millions dead.

  41.  @onimaxblade8988  isn't this how Evil Dead turned from a campy low-budget horror, to cult classic in horror comedy? Also, Scream, being a parody of slashers, and revitalizing the genre by playing it self-aware to the max. If I were Sony, I would absolutely try to hire a good writer for sequel and start him with assumption of not trying to make a serious movie, but a campy parody.

  42. Unironically in several of Shakespeare plays. Polonius comes to mind first. I heard it was written that way because of the way theater worked at the time and was handwaved by viewers same way we don't notice movie titles or videogame UI. You know, like in Japan the black stage hand costumes that removed corpses were considered invisible for story purposes and that's how ninja characters started being associated with black onesies lol.

  43. I do second type posts and periodically slam some NGO for being shitheads since I was banned on Twitter for threatening to Pope with doing to him what he does to kids.

  44. " And we aren't that far from AI being able to produce works the replicate those things." Hahahahahahahahahahaha ChatGPT is so bad it can't even make shitty articles without being caught lying. AI writing is horrendous. It also cannot make anything by itself it only works with data you inputted. Like yeah, it can draft a novelization of Sixth Sense if you give it the plot points, twists etc., but that's you who made the story, AI just gave you a poorly worded text. The ones who ARE losing their jobs are those who earned money from writing bad essays in place of students. Cheating is indeed easier with computers.

  46. Yes, I can't believe how many times I heard arguments ranging from putin having "legitimate concerns" (as russia bombs my city) to "russian soldiers aren't evil they're just brainwashed" (to steal washing machines?), explain your sympathy for russians to the mother whose child intestines were turned inside out with a missile. In real life, evil is just that, evil. You don't need to "understand" what's in dictator's head. Movies conditioned people to think about villain complexity while in reality he's just a psychopath who gets his dopamine fix from war crimes. One of my fav villain types is the eldritch horror. Sadako from the Ring doesn't give a crap about you, she just kills everyone she comes in contact with. The girl had a backstory but she's far gone from having any humanity left. Many horror villains are like that, they don't have a motivation we can comprehend. Reapers in Mass Effect were perfect villains as they acted JUST like russians, unredeemable monsters only sowing destruction everywhere... all until the third game decided to give them motivations, which is both unrealistic, and cheap, as it tried to make people sympathetic for literal omnicidal murderbots. Despite all before that establishing that even considering their viewpoint is cult-like indoctrination.

  48. I think YouTube literally won't process and cut off black screen when rendering, at least it used to before. So really, you need a template for last 15 seconds for links. When videos are cuts of a stream or let's play it's awkward putting extra 15 second of nothing between episodes, so a lot of reasons people don't bother...
